  1. This configuration makes the cab smaller. Doesn't help anyone hear any more than the forward firing drivers.
    Because bass is less directional it survives the angle better than other wavelengths. I have 5 Schroeder cabs and rate them highly.
    In fact the 410L isn't one I own, so I'm VERY tempted to make an offer on this one!

    Get in touch via PM if your other deals don't pan out buddy!

  2. On the subject of packing... I'm not sure the packing was quite satisfactory TBH. It *was* wrapped in a single sheet of 'big bubble' wrap. However the rest of the box was filled with just loosely rolled brown paper. Clearly it wasn't enough to prevent damage of the kind it sustained. However, in Wounded Paws defence, it looked like a really hard impact. I'm not sure any reasonable amount of packing would have saved the day. Only a completely over the top case with polystyrene corners and lots of bubble wrap would have slowed the impact to a level where the insides weren't torn by their own weight and impetus...
    Still, onwards and upwards! 😎

  3. Well... This is how it's gone..
    amp arrived early this week after delays in customs, and Parcelfarce didn't send me the slip to say they'd got it.
    I had to phone around and find the depot which had it, pay them the customs charge and wait for them to deliver it.
    And when I unpacked it... f***ed!
    As soon as I unpacked it, I knew. I could hear some loose bits inside the case rattling around.
    Inspecting the case I found a shiny corner, indicative of an impact. One of the 'handles was damaged and bent inwards a few degrees too.
    Opened the bottom of the case... Found a loose IC chip, and a piece of plastic which would have been a circuit board mounting clip.
    And the circuit board was thusly not attached to the case...

    Disappointed.

    So the result is that I've had to send it back.
    The shipping back to Canada has cost me another £66 now. Plus a £30 customs charge, and at the moment, I have no amp.
    Preston, the guy at wounded Paw has agreed to pay for the return shipping, but I haven't heard back from him about how he intends to do this yet...
    And no doubt, when it's replacement arrives I will get hit for customs AGAIN!

    Until I get my working amp, I suggest you hold off on purchases. This is going to be a test of Wounded Paws customer service, I think.

  4. I decided to take a punt and add a Wounded Paw amp to my gas driven hoard...
    Anyone out there got one ? Got anything to say about it ?
    I actually wanted the stand alone Pre Amp, but it's oop and to have one custom made was only a bit cheaper than the Pre / power combi amp.

    I can't be the first, surely...?

  5. Hartke! By a country mile! I bought the 350watt head and a couple of SWR cabs after a long break for bass, and got the worst sound it's possible to imagine. That head did everything but a good sound. I sold it at a horrendous loss because I was honest about how sh*t it was, and after the new owner had it a while, I asked how it was... and he loved it. As someone said earlier, one mans meat is another mans poison.

    See my text above for my problem.
    This is what I get if I type at a normal speed: Missing character and spaces.
    This is a new computer too. The older one was equally as bad, which makes me understand.. It's not my machine. And i's only this site in the entire world.
    Frustrating.

    Any suggestions? (Not Chrome / Firefox etc. as said earlier, this is a work machine, and I don't have permission to just add stuff.)

  7. No. I put some effort in for a while. And did start making headway. I got part way into "the enormous room" before putting it away. I love having it, and who knows maybe one day I'll make a second attempt to master it... But for now it's a "stay at home/bedroom bass".
    The six string is beautiful sounding and very usable! In fact I've gigged it quite a few times when I've been depping in bands that fit the fretless mojo.

    Picture to follow if I can find how you do it...
